Nuclear power valve domestic trend fades

With the official announcement of the "12th Five-Year Plan" on nuclear safety, the road to restart of China's nuclear power has taken another step. Domestic nuclear power still maintains a relatively strong momentum of development. China's nuclear power industry is ushering in new opportunities for development, and rise rapidly. Associated with nuclear power equipment, pump valves and related products also entered the nuclear power industry circle. In the field of nuclear power valve products, there are only a few companies in China able to supply, most of them are still dependent on imports. In response to the country’s call for the localization of nuclear power equipment, the localization of nuclear power pump valves was implemented. On May 10, the “Nuclear Power Valves and Auxiliary Product Quality Work Conference” sponsored by the National Energy Administration was held in Shanghai as scheduled. How to improve the quality of nuclear power pump valves and related products in the exchange, and further improve the localization capability of China's nuclear power pump valves and related products.

The units participating in the conference included China National Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd. and National Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd., as well as 16 pump plants and 13 valve factories. The valve and valve trading network attended the meeting as a media agency. During the meeting, all units fully exchanged opinions on the quality issues arising from the localization of pump valves. Wu Yongbin, chief engineer of China Federation of Machinery Industry, addressed the meeting. He pointed out that the quality problems of nuclear power valve and related products that have been exposed at present are startling. Nuclear power equipment manufacturing enterprises must implement the "four most common" nuclear power slogans in terms of physical quality. At the same time, he also asked all nuclear power engineering companies to accommodate the deficiencies in the localization of nuclear power equipment and work together with manufacturing companies to advance the strategic process of localization of nuclear power equipment.

China’s nuclear power industry is in a period of rapid development. The “China Nuclear Power City” in Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province, where the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station is located, was formally established. The cooperation between Zhejiang Provincial Government and CNNC was established. In 2013, the Zhejiang Provincial Government formally issued the “China Nuclear Power City Plan” and proposed that by 2015, China Nuclear Power City should achieve a nuclear power service industry output value of 10 billion yuan and a nuclear power equipment manufacturing industry output value of 5 billion yuan in order to strive for 2015 nuclear power related industry output value. To reach the goal of 50 billion yuan.

More downstream companies associated with nuclear power also saw nuclear power, a huge piece of cheese, entering the field of nuclear power. According to information from the Haiyan County Nuclear Power Office, the awareness of affiliated nuclear power companies is increasing, and the output value of alliance teams and enterprises has increased significantly. From 24 companies in 2010, 66 nuclear power related companies have been developed so far. The output value of nuclear power affiliates is from 2010. The annual output value of 2.6 billion yuan will exceed 4 billion yuan by 2011, and the nuclear production value will exceed 400 million yuan.

China has formed a second-generation improved pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology with its own brand. Currently, it is developing third-generation AP1000 and EPR technology for stimulating and re-innovating and organizing the development of three generations of ACP1000, ACPR1000 and CAP1400 with completely independent intellectual property rights. Nuclear power technology. There are currently 14 nuclear power plants in operation in China and 27 nuclear power plants are under construction. As the third-generation AP1000 nuclear power plant nuclear pump, the current four domestic AP1000 nuclear power plant unit pumps under construction are all imported.

Due to the particularity of nuclear power plants, the requirements of nuclear power valves are different from those of ordinary valves. Not only do they have good serviceability, but also have very high reliability. At the same time, they require strict quality assurance during the design and manufacturing process. They belong to the category of valves. High-end products. At present, in China's nuclear power plants, the localization rate of nuclear valves is only 4%, and a large number of nuclear power valves still rely on imports.

However, there are breakthroughs in the research and manufacturing of nuclear valves. Through many nuclear power engineering projects and various indications, China's nuclear power equipment and its associated industries, with independent intellectual property rights, alternative imports, domestic nuclear power valve products have occupied a certain percentage of the market. Nuclear power technology, nuclear power equipment, and nuclear power valve products are also gradually in line with international standards. China has the largest installed nuclear power plant in the world. According to relevant sources, by 2020 China’s installed nuclear power capacity will exceed 70 million kilowatts, accounting for 6% of China’s power generation share, which means that at least 60 million kilowatts will be built. The level of nuclear power plants requires direct investment will exceed 500 billion yuan, which provides opportunities and broader market space for China's nuclear power valve and related products.
